Read through and then watch the divine warning by Khalifa of Islam in this
youtube video:
On 19 April The Khalifa of Islam said:
“When God and the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) called the one who was to come a Prophet, who has to right to make his own interpretation and persecute those who follow him? The state of the world bear witness that in spite of the Holy Qur’an preserved in its original form the religious, spiritual and moral state of Muslims is declining and Taqwa is lacking. Majority of the Muslims are leading their lives outside of God’s commandments. A person is indeed required in such a situation to understand the essence of Islam and spread it among Muslims and we Ahmadis say that the person was sent by God in line with the prophecies of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) in the fourteenth century. With the grace and succour of God, he elucidated the spiritual treasures of the Holy Qur’an in his books and made a clear distinction between truth and falsehood. He proved Islam’s superiority over all other world religions and thus challenged its enemies. He lived a long life with God’s support and succour and then passed away leaving behind him an eternal system of succession [Khilafat]. The earthly and heavenly corroborations he received continue to come to pass in the form of natural disasters. Are the earthquakes, the floods, the humiliation of Muslims in the world not enough to open the eyes of Pakistanis and other Muslims? The recent earthquake was felt in many countries, including Indonesia. There is need to ponder over God’s decree in action, there is need for repentance and for Istaghfar (seeking forgiveness from God). Rather than be intimidated by the so-called clerics, they should be made aware of their deceptions. Could they cite even a single incident from the blessed life of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) that is congruous to what they are teaching today? What Muslims should do is to be mindful of their death and pay the rights of God and the right so people.”

Note that an increase in detected earthquake numbers does not necessarily represent an increase in earthquakes per se. Population increase, habitation spread, and advances in earthquake detection technology all contribute to higher earthquake numbers being recorded over time. USGS’sEarthquake Myths has more information.
